Australia's population is set to top the 21 million mark later this month as data released today shows births in 2006 were the highest since 1971.

The preliminary results from the 2006 Census shows the Australian population grew 1.4 per cent during the 12 months ended December 31, 2006, as the country recorded 265,922 births, the second highest on record.

However, registered deaths were the highest ever recorded at 133,900 in 2006.

Migration also increased Australia's population with preliminary overseas migration figures accounting for an additional 147,700 people in the year.
